Winter weather often means unearthing drab coats, thick scarves, and your trusty snow boots that have lived in your closet since middle school. It’s not often that a piece of winter wear is both functional and chic – until now! We’re referring, of course, to Bean Boots, the all-weather footwear taking the winter season by storm.

If you already own a pair, you know that Bean Boots are perfect for stomping around in all kinds of rain, snow, sleet, or hail. (If you don’t, now you do!) But besides that, they’re also cuter than your average hiking boot, and come in a variety of different shapes, sizes, and colors. Below, see some of our favorite ways to wear them!

Cozy neutrals and classic stripes make for the perfect winter look! Add a scarf to stay stylish in even the coldest temperatures, like this (pink!) one from ASOS.

Bean Boots look extra preppy when paired with an upgraded coat – check out this lookalike from H&M here or try a new color like green or bright yellow!

Although we’ve yet to spot any celebs wearing our beach-inspired fashion and accessories, we know they’d be perfect for some of our favorite TV icons. Below is our dream list of favorite female leads and the accessories that we know they’d love!

Betty Draper is oh-so relateable for her love of the Jersey shore, just like most all Pinkly Perfect fans! Her family has a history of getting off the parkway at exit zero, which is why our Cape May, NJ keychain would be perfect for her to grab on her way to summer vacation!

If anyone thinks there’s a bigger lady boss on television than Olivia Pope, then you’re straight up wrong. We know she’d rock her metallic gold BOSS bracelet all day and night, even when indulging in red wine and popcorn.

“Gossip girl here, your one and only source into the scandalous lives of Manhattan’s elite. Who am I? That’s one secret I’ll never tell. You know you love me, xoxo, gossip girl” Enough said.

Tamera, Sister Sister

Newport Cosmetic Bag, Say No to Summer Reading

When Tamera wasn’t shouting “Go home Roger!”, she was pretty much doing anything other than schoolwork. We know she’d be all about saying no to summer reading and yes to movie dates with her hot BF Jordan.

Cory and Topanga’s relationship was #goals for any Boy Meets World fan. While they had their ups and downs like any high school sweethearts, we know Cory would have loved to gift his girl a Newport Cosmetic Bag in pink glitter “You’re Perfect.”

Even though it may seem like an overload of Christmas and New Year’s themed everything lately, for those of you lucky enough to be on bridesmaid duty come Spring & Summer 2018, you’re probably more overwhelmed with the planning of showers, bachelorettes, luncheons, and of course, weddings!

Between NYE and next September, I’ll be going to 8 weddings across Iowa, New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Texas, and Mexico. I’m a bridesmaid in two, and another is my sister’s wedding so I will be very, very busy to say the least. Luckily all with things right up my alley like planning parties, picking out pretty flowers, dress shopping, dancing like crazy, and celebrating with (lots of) champagne and cake.

For the newly engaged couples, it’s not just the wedding they’re planning. The love birds will be sending out engagement announcements, save the dates, wedding invitations, bridal shower invitations, and bachelor & bachelorette party invites.

But sending out creative and completely customizable invites doesn’t need to be hard! In fact, with Basic Invite it is SO easy and actually really fun, especially if you’re the creative type.

One of the things I dislike the most about using online services for invitations is that you never get to see the actual hard copy before ordering production. But with Basic Invite, you can actually receive a sample (including the envelope—hint: they have over 40 different color options) to review prior to placing an order.

Another plus is that the invites are completely customizable with over 180 color combinations to choose from! Got a couple hours to spare this weekend? Play (yes, it really feels like you’re playing) around with their templates and custom features. You’ll be surprised with how long you’re on there for.

I was lucky enough to get some samples to review in person and I am so excited to share them with you. I obviously went with all things pink and/or beachy but the options are endless for whatever your style is. One thing to applaud is how exact the color looks on the screen compared to the actual sample. Take a peek at the ones I got below!

Engagement Announcements:

I know, I know….isn’t Facebook the official announcement? Nope! Make it even more official with an announcement in the mail. I love the metallics in this card and if I was ordering for production, I would definitely take advantage of their foil option to make it pop even more!

Save the Dates:

FACT: I’ve gotten so many texts recently asking for my address! One feature I love is that Basic Invite offers an address capturing service, which is way more convenient! You can simply share a link on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc and request addresses for your entire guest list and select it once you send out all the other invitations.

Bridal Shower Invitations:

Bridal shower invites tend to be classy, subtle, and pretty but I love the more fun options. And we’re always up for more champagne. 🙂

Bachelorette Party Invitations:

Why are these always emails? Change the game with Basic Invite’s Bachelorette Party invitations. I L-O-V-E the ones I picked out. Perfectly pink and nautical!

Summer is flying by! If you’ve been wanting to soak up some major sun, now is your chance. School’s out, summer ice cream scoopin’ money is flowing in, and all the red, white, and blue (and pink?!) decorations and party tips are officially taking over our Pinterest boards.

Whether you’re packing up the car and cruising down the parkway to your beach town of choice, or printing out a boarding pass to escape to a real tropical getaway with your favorite beach besties, make sure you take a peek at our travel must-haves.

First thing you’ll need is a large carry-on that can hold your essentials for both the trip and the first day or two of vacation if you’re waiting on luggage. We love our Montauk Tote because it can be your carry-on and your beach bag. It’s large enough to fit your laptop, makeup bag, beach towel, book, and an outfit or two.

Beat that parkway traffic and head out late Friday night! Trade turns with your besties so each of you can sleep for a bit on the way down and be wide awake to hit the beach first thing in the morning! This sleep mask is perfect to get in the ZZzzone and also look super cute.

After a long flight and hours of off-and-on sleep, make sure you have plenty of gum to freshen up before heading out! We are so obsessed with Spry Dental Defense Gum. It’s made with 100% Xylitol, natural ingredients, and has proven effects to improve oral health when used daily. No toothbrush in your carry-on? No problem! We love the classic bubble gum flavor, but try out their more creative flavors like green tea, fresh fruit, cinnamon, and licorice.

If you tend to experience sinus pain while traveling, make sure you pack Xlear natural saline nasal spray. This spray offers fast relief to keep you beach bound all vacation long. And if you don’t like it (highly doubtful)? Return for a full refund! Perfect.

If you’ve been counting down the unofficial start of summer since Labor Day, get ready to be beach bound! Memorial Day is only days away and before we know it, we’ll be walking on the sand, riding beach bikes to get ice cream cones, and lounging in the sun all.summer.long.

With prom season quickly getting into full swing and warmer weather just around the corner, we’re one step closer to summer break! But as you begin your countdown during these final few months, there’s still one more thing to look forward to… Graduation!

While a lot of planning goes into throwing the perfect graduation party with just the right amount of pomp and circumstance, we girls also have to think about looking our best for the big day. And while white dresses can be perfectly stunning, there’s a new trend for those who want a fresher take on a classic look: Pink graduation dresses!

A pink dress, while it may sound simple, is an easy way to stand out in all of your graduation day selfies. Don’t believe us? Take a look at some of our favorite dresses below!

Traditional

It’s back to the basics with these dresses! Your big day should be about you, after all, so why not pick a dress that shows it?

Despite some ice covered roads and difficulty parking on tiny Philadelphia snowed in streets, the shoot went off seamlessly and I am SO excited to announce that so many of new favorites are now available for sale at pinklyperfect.com. Check them out!

Model Lauren in Avalon Sweatshirt, Indigo available at pinklyperfect.com.

Fun fact: I’ve been sitting on these indigo heather sweatshirts for over a year waiting for the right design to come to me. When I started researching patches, I knew it’d be perfect to pair this denim inspired color with pretty pink ice cream cone and flamingo patches. And I am in major L-O-V-E. Pick one up at pinklyperfect.com! (Get a matching Newport Cosmetic Bag and a pink coordinate keychain to make a perfect gift!)

This Newport Cosmetic Bag really doesn’t need much of an explanation. If you’re a Pinkly Perfect fan then you’re probably just as into summer as I am and have a life goal of getting as many beach days in as possible. Only 74 days until Memorial Day and we’re there! 🙂 Shop the best-selling Newport Cosmetic Bags in all versions here.

Noticed any sneak peeks and still waiting for us to add them to our website? In the next two weeks, we’ll be adding SO many more favorites. Stay tuned and follow us on Instagram. Happy spring shopping!

It may be snowing outside but the countdown to summer is always on with Pinkly Perfect! As we daydream about swapping our boots for flip flops and sweaters for sundresses, we’re scouring the internet to find pretty pink bathing suits to get us excited for beach weather this summer.

We love any detail that makes swimsuits unique and on trend. The straps on this Target brand bikini top elevate the typical halter silhouette to something really special. We also love that you can pair with virtually any bottom and it’ll work.

My favorite place in the world is Avalon, New Jersey. My second favorite is Southern California. This week, we’re so excited to be heading to Newport Beach to bring Pinkly Perfect to the best coast! While we’ll be taking the entire line for show, I’m personally packing my favorite pieces that are perfect additions to any traveling whether you’re on your way to Spring Break or planning a summer getaway. Below are our recs:

The fact is I never go anywhere without my Pinkly Perfect Montauk Tote. For this trip, I’ll be bringing my laptop and notebook to do work on the plane (no hours off when you’re a boss!), along with an emergency change of clothes and minimal makeup. You’ll be surprised by how much you can fit in our best-seller!

I will 100% be rocking my Margate Leggings on the plane ride to and from LA. I find sitting on a plane for hours next to strangers to be highly uncomfortable so any little bit of comfort I can add to make the trip more enjoyable is crucial. We love our leggings because they’re mostly cotton so they’re super soft and not too restricting (just in case we really decide to treat ourselves on vacation 🙂 ).

Pick up a Newport Cosmetic Bag to stash your makeup and girly essentials. It’s so sturdy and it stands on its own, which is perfect for anywhere makeup application. We’ll be bringing our Summer Reminders bag since the pink ice cream cones and flamingos will fit perfectly with the SoCal vibe.

If you’re headed to a resort any time soon, do not forget a small, casual clutch you can use while roaming the premises. If you’re hitting the gym, the spa, or just walking around to get more acquainted, you’ll want something you can toss your room key, cell, and credit cards in just in case. We recommend our Cape Code Pouch, now on sale for $12.
